    • Linebreak in Tables?

    Posted by Florian Link posts: 18 Germany

    When using the || syntax for tables, how can I add linebreaks in single cells?

    The same problem is in Definition lists, how can I add a linebreak?

    In the Wiki, I cannot use BR tags, while it works here in the forum:

    some cell more text someothercell
    some cell more text someothercell

    text
    definition moretext
    text
    definition moretext


    Is there any syntax to write that in the Wiki? I think it would be quite usefull!

    hi,

    take a look at WikiTables. At the end of the page there is a solution (with HTML).

    I would think using a <br> would work if you turn on HTML on the page.

    Yes, I know, but I think it is generally a bad idea to allow html on a Wiki page!

    So I think there should be a Wiki Syntax for expressing the linebreak in tables.

    best regards,

    Of crouse it's a rather basic thing to have. We could use "|||" for new lines, but I'm not sure it's really the easiest learnable syntax, considering that || is for a table, | a row and ||| would be for a more minor separation.
